Notes: Game on...on the radio...Angels and Rangers....top of fifth...Rangers 6-2...Happy Fourth!...well, I'll try a redo of last games post, second I made yesterday...poking a few keys to try and find what key I hit that made that post disappear...no luck...Trout up. K...Ohtani up...ground out with a bare handed catch and throw...Angels make out...to bottom of fifth...it began with these pics...I can kind of reconstruct the post from my 'History'...sites I visited yesterday for pics and quotes...

Whilst looking for improved illustrations of the god who emerged from the sea called in Sumerian legend, Oannes, above top left, I came across similar sculptures in the Father Crespi collection in Ecuador, above centre and right. Instead of having a "fish head" aspect, these sculptures portrayed instead an "eagle head" aspect.

the top Genius is one of Crespi's...Crespi is well known in Mysterion lore...story goes the Bolivian town folk kept bringing him things from caves and burials, and he started up his own museum...after he passed away, the government sequestered it all, or some sort...it's easy to dismiss Crespi's artifacts, as they looks so amateurish...on first look...on second, one realizes if they are replicas, they are replicas made with an uncanny knowledge of Egyptian and Sumerian icons...I've often seen the second pic down, it's Sumerian...as to the top one, I don't know if I've seen that head on a Sumerian Genius...yet it has all the elements of them...

Although easy to dismiss them superficilally as forgeries, when we look at the subject in greater detail, there are other aspects which suggest there was indeed a Sumerian presence in Ancient South America.

Then there is the name of the oldest inhabitants of the Altiplano, who lived in reed houses and built reed boats just like the Sumerians.

go figure...my whimsy of the Ubaid aquatic amphibians with their split point cane spears, reed boats, and reed houses, migrating all over the continental coasts, crossing the ocean passages necessary to get to islands...the top Genius looks to have the frill and face of an amphibian, or aquatic creature--pinneped like...Rangers made out...to top of sixth...Bour up...line out...

Above, Assyrian god with eagle head and feathered headdress, Amazonian feathered headdress,
Aztec warrior with eagle head mask, Elamite headdress 1000bc, Persian headgear, Indian headdress
(my note: see page for pics)

this, I think, jumps out at every one wondering, if having seen the Toltec Four Warriors, and the Sumerian top knots...Angels make out...to bottom of sixth...

At last the Altiplano gives up its secrets! These channels on the Bolivian Altiplano north of Peñas which is north west of La Paz region are in regular plots of 330ft or 200 x 200 Sumerian cubits confirming the use of the 330ft stade to describe the rectangular plain next to Lake Poopo.
(my note: see LIDAR pics at site)

Underground water channels are found in ancient Persia where they are known as Qanats.

It is usually assumed there was no ancient sea route between the Americas and the Old World, but there are in fact artefacts which suggest an ancient connection, including this ceramic (below) which is a typical Nazca ceramic, but found in Cyprus and now in the University of Cambridge Fitzwilliam museum.
(my note: pic is a stirrup vase, a bit of a reach...but, I myself have tried to find the distribution of stirrup vessels...they look to contained to Moche lands..)

site page has a bunch, whole site does...I think I referenced it last season for the Atlantis stuff, and the lost lakes of the Andes' Altiplano...there's very odd things about the Altiplano...one is the huge salt flat of a departed lake...anyway, all this reach for a revisit sometime...the Ubaid Aquatic Humanoids!...the things my attention was focused on is that strange little bag with a handle, and the pine cone...a Louvre caption of one of the Geniuses has it the bag is a water bucket, and the pine cone was dipped in it and sprinkles water...see if I can find that again...this where I got stuck, and messed up yesterday!...Angels have one out runner, Regnifo had a hit...Calhoun with a bloop hit...Trout is up...2-1 count...2-2...3-2...starting pitcher on mound...with 113 pitches!...old school...fly out...oh, they are staying with him...Ohtani up...move would be to bring in left hander to face Ohtani...pops out...geez...hats off to Ranger's manager...both Trout and Ohtani came to the plate with two previous hits apiece!..this game is for the Rangers...a 4th gift for the home crowd...to bottom of seventh...Rangers wap a home run...Rangers 8-2...the top pic I learn is the Sumerian god Nisroch...and the head is so indistinct, that I have likely mistook it...Nisroch has an eagle's head...

In the epic poem Lugal-e, Ninurta slays the demon Asag using his talking mace Sharur and uses stones to build the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to make them useful for irrigation. In a poem sometimes referred to as the "Sumerian Georgica", Ninurta provides agricultural advice to farmers. In an Akkadian myth, he was the champion of the gods against the Anzû bird after it stole the Tablet of Destinies from his father Enlil and, in a myth that is alluded to in many works but never fully preserved, he killed a group of warriors known as the "Slain Heroes". His major symbols were a perched bird and a plow.
